Textbooks:
 Required:
  • Axiomatic Geometry, Summer 2012 edition, by John M. Lee
    (Be sure you have the latest edition.)
  • Euclid's Elements (one of the following):
    • The complete text of Euclid's Elements online, with interactive Java applets illustrating the propositions.
    • All 13 books of Euclid's Elements, edited by Dana Densmore (Green Lion Press, 2002). This is an excellent edition, and I recommend purchasing it.
    • Books 1 and 2 of Euclid's Elements are available in an inexpensive Dover edition. This edition is less convenient than the Green Lion one, because it's cluttered with a lot of commentary by Heath, which is not as relevant for our purposes.
